there's no jail in poughkeepsie proper-- just the ibm
national headquarters, 2 malls, and vassar college. 30-45
minutes away (i can't remember in what direction, maybe
south), though, there is a prison. i don't know what level of
security it is, or ever what town it's in. i'm pretty sure
it's out of dutchess county (where poughkeepsie is),
though...
who knew this knowledge would ever be useful to anyone?
(:
and it's a darn tough one to spell. probably took me to the
end of my first semester there to figure it out.
